<![CDATA[This community service project aims to enhance the stability and performance of the internet infrastructure at MA Al-Ihsan Boarding School through the implementation of a fiber optic (FO) backbone between buildings and wireless network optimization. Prior to the intervention, the inter-building connection relied on wireless links, resulting in unstable connectivity, limited bandwidth (28.5 Mbps download), and service interruptions that affected academic and administrative digital systems. The project was conducted through five stages: needs assessment, network design, technical implementation, training and mentoring, and performance evaluation. A 200-meter single-mode FO backbone was deployed to connect the Kuwait Dormitory building using a Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB) scheme. Additionally, wireless optimization was carried out in the Darul Ihsan Mosque through structured cell planning and non-overlapping channel configuration (1, 6, and 11). Performance evaluation showed a significant improvement in download speed from 28.5 Mbps to 157 Mbps (4.5 times increase), upload speed improvement from 17.4 Mbps to 53.8 Mbps, and reduced latency from 18 ms to 15 ms. Wi-Fi coverage in the mosque increased from approximately 60% to full coverage. The implementation not only improved network reliability but also strengthened the partner institution’s technical capacity in managing and maintaining digital infrastructure sustainably.]]>
